Mary & Kathy - you two are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. I am sorry I did not take the time in March to visit with you.
I only had the two occasions at Christmas to meet Jim; however, during those times it was easy to see what a special guy he was. He saved me w/ his help on Marje's electrical problems (maybe it was Mary who volunteered his services ??).
I'll remember him as a "warrior" in the Cold War flying B-52's keeping watch on us all. When I heard the remark in a TV show that "When the B-2 flys to AZ to be mothballed, it will be escorted by a B-52.) I remember that I heard it from Jim first.
My condolances to you both and God bless you.
Best rgds,

To the Petry Family,
It has been an honor and great pleasure to get to know Jim and his wonderful family. I know he will be missed but I am sure you all have a bank of memories you can draw upon at any time. I will miss him and his stories.

I am sorry to hear of Jim Petry's death. It was a tremendous loss to their loving and supportive family circle. I am a friend of Mary's and met Jim only a few times. I know that his spirit will live on in his children and grandchildren. God Bless!

Nancy and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was as close to being my brother as I will ever have. He was very special to me. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
